SALFORD CITY FC WIN EFL PAPA JOHN’S TROPHY – FOR ONE DAY
 

Star date: 14th March 2021

SALFORD CITY WIN FIRST MAJOR EFL TROPHY

Salford City yesterday won their first silverware as a Football League club by beating Portsmouth on penalties at Wembley in the almost year-long delayed final of the Papa John's Trophy, with the score level at 0-0 after extra time. The Ammies will now hold the cup for exactly one day.

Full details here...


The much delayed final of the EFL Papa John's Trophy between Salford City and Portsmouth was finally held at Wembley yesterday, with the Ammies winning 4-2 on penalties, following a 0-0 score after extra time.

Salford goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky saved a spot kick from Portsmouth's Ronan Curtis, while Ryan Williams missed with Pompey's first penalty to hand Salford the victory. Jason Lowe scored the winning penalty to land Salford their first silverware as an EFL club.

Unfortunately the Ammies will only hold the cup until later on today, with this year's final of the EFL Trophy being played on the same pitch this afternoon between Tranmere Rovers and Sunderland.

@wrote --- this sad arse preferred it when it was a rugby club - and held lovely community events which benefitted to local residents. I agree with others, salford schitty isnt a real football club ... it's a millionaires toy/folly... and its supporters remind me of the muppets.

Slurp..@ Salford FC football club moving and playing at bury gigg lane, NEVER. It's a Salford club supported by true Salfordians and the owners know this, it's a growing football club with growing support in league 2, hopefully league 1 next season and shortly in the next couple of years the moor lane stadium will be to small. Salford FC in my eyes have got 2 options in the near future. It could get rid of the st Pauls primary school next door and extend the stadium into the old school site or go and buy AJ bell stadium.

What a pathetic comment. Salford City was always a real football club long before it became a plastic club and a billionnaire and multi-millionnaires' plaything. You're welcome to keep watching the morally-bankrupt Premier League, which is now merely a television product and sees supporters as irrelevant.

I can see where Slurps coming from, but the days where a club represented a town or city are long gone.For each fan united have from greater Manchester,they have a thousand in the rest of the world.Ryan Gigs and his mates are seeing how far they can go with this without saying a lot.I can see them getting into the premier. I remember when Wigan were a non league side, and they went all the way to the top.If they carry on winning,it won't be long before the locals round there will want them to move,and the locals will get what they want.It will have to be free new land down near Salford Reds, and a few million for giving up their present lease. One day, cup tie or whatever,these lads will meet united on the pitch. I hope I am here to see it.Congratulations and good luck to you lads.

so you would go back to the time of 30 people a dog on the pitch and going nowhere truth hurts rather than salford city winning things and creating a real football club pathetic statement from a true sad arse .

They should move to the A J Bell now. They can start contributing to the public's finances and do something useful. Instead of endlessly annoying the put upon residents of Kersal. Alternatively they could go up the road to Gigg Lane . Bury needs a team and it's Neville's home town. There will only ever be one team for the myopic benighted denizens of Salford's slums and that's United.

It seems that Portsmouth's fans were not allowed into the stadium, but all Salford's fans were there.

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
